Disney has clarified that they plan to release a new feature Star Wars film every 2 to 3 years, past Episodes 7, 8, and 9.

During the Q&A, Disney said that they were purchasing an "extensive and detailed" treatment for the next film trilogy, so Disney won't be starting from scratch. It also said the movies were in the "early stage development" at the moment, and noted that it hopes to have Episodes 8 and 9 released "every other year — so 2017 and 2019 are the current target dates.

..."extensive and detailed" treatment, I guess Lucas has an idea after all?

7-9 AND more films after that? What on earth could these films possibly be about? What could 7-9 possibly be about?

I know...I read the whole thing. But this is bad: "These films will be released and distributed as part of our target slate of 8-10 live-action films per year, and will augment Disney's already strong creative pipeline for many years to come"

is it april fools day?! 2015 release date less than 3 years away with no script actors, storyline era....

I am nearly 100% that Lucas himself already had a story for EP 7-9, he has mentioned it before in the past. Who is not to say he didn't already have a rough script? Don't forget, Industrial Light & Magic and Skywalker Sound will be included in making the film, which will speed it along all the more. In today's technology it doesn't take so long to make a film anymore. BUT< I do only hope they do this right and not just try to milk it because of the franchise name. This could very well end up being better than the prequels.
